OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

Letters Patent No. 97,221, dated Norember 23, 1869.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

To all whom it may concern Be itknown that I, ELISHA S. Olmsnr, of' New `York, county and State of New York, have inl make and use the same, reference being had to the v accompanying drawing, forming part of' this specification, in which drawing- Figure l represents a longitudinal vertical section of this invention.

Figure .lfis aside elevation thereof.

Figure 3 is an end view of the same` Similar letters indicate corresponding parts.

This invention consists inthe combination of' a rotary size-printing. apparatus, with a rotary embossing-apparatus, and with a rotary watcrcolor printing-apparatus, either or botlnall being geared together in such a manner that a sheet of paper, or 'other material, after having been passed through the rotaryV size-printing apparatus, is immediately delivered to the` rotary cmbossing-apparatns, and also toi the rotary water-colui' printing-apparatns, and thereby the .correct position `of said paper or other material is preserved, and the printing and embossing` are eilcctcd with case and correctness.

The paper, or other material to be printed, is taken from a reel, o, and runs over a drum, b, and between this drum anda printiiig-cylinder, c. Said paper or other material is printed with size or ink, of a quickdrying nat-nre, the cylinder being supplied with lsize dr ink from an ordinary fountain.

From this size-printing apparatus l) c, the paper or other material passes onto an endless apron,.d, which runs over a pair of rollers, e j, with the same speed as the paper or other material pass-cs through between the size-printipg apparatus.

Over this apron aretwo revolving brushes, y l1, driven in an opposite direction to that of the paper,

the brush q being for the purpose ot supplying the' bronze, and the ,ln-usb, h., for removing the surplus bronze from the paper or other material. in case gold-leaf is. to be used, the brush r/ must be removed, and the gold-leaf' placed by hand upon- .the printed designs.

When the paper or otlieimaterial loaves the apron d, it passes tin-(nigh between the revolving embossingcylinder 1.1, and a drum, l, and thence on to a rcvolving drum, nl, where a number ot printing-cylinders, n, prints thereon the various water-colors.

From' the drum m, the paper or other material passes oii on an endless apron, o, which is stretched round said drum and a roller, p.' The course of the material to be printed is shown in fig. 1, in a blue line. e

All the printing-cylimlers, drums, and rollers, are geared together, and driven by Vthe driving-shaft q, in the following manner:

A pinion, r, on the shaft q, (sec fig. 2,) transmits its motion, by moans of intermediate wheels fr' r r", to the wheels b' and l', which are fastened upon the shafts .ofthe drums b and l.

The cylinders c andV b arc geared together with their respectivo drums, and the rollers c and f are driven by the wheels b' and I'.

The wheel l' alsoV gears into a wheel, s', firmly fixed to thc end oi' a shaft, s, which runs through thel machine transversely, 'and is provided at the rear side with 'another Wheel, s, of the same diameter 'as the wheel s', which gears into a large wheel, m', fixed to the axis .of the drum m..

The printing-cyliniiei's n arc driven by the wheel s', in front of the-machine, by means oi' a llarge intermediate wheel, s', (seo tig. 2,) which wheel runs on a stationary stud, independent ot' the drum in,

.this arrangement being necessary in ordcr to be able to lower the drum, when 'the' paper is to be inserted between thc printing-cylinders -and thc drum, without disconnecting the gearing of said cylinders n. from the driving-power ofthe machine.

By this arrangement I am enabled to pass sheets of paper or other material through my machine, the size-printing apparatus, the elnbossiiig-apparatus, and the water-color printing-apparatus being geared t'ogether, in suoli manner that they will come in contact with the paper, precisely at the correct spots, which could .not beeiicted, ii' the various apl'iaratns were used detached. l

I am avare of the English patent to J. Booth, No.322, of 1865, in whicha number of small rollers is arranged, around the periphery of a cylinder, whereby the paper is first covered with a coating oi satin-white, then print-ed wit-indifferent colors, and finally embossed. I disclaim Booths invention.

I do not claim, as my invention, cit-her of the devices above described, when separately considered;

What I claim asV new, and desireto secure by 11erters Patent, is-

i. The combination of' Vtho sizing-rollers l; c, embossing-rollers 'n Z, and printiiig-rollersimI a n, when the same are arranged and operate substantially' as' herein described, j Y

2. lo" combination with the above, the bronzingnpparzttus d e' f i g 7a, when armnged substantially l:1s herein shown and described, between the rollers 3. The arrangement of the sizing-rollers b c, embossing-rollers,h l,.'printing-eylinder m, and rollers n fn, und the brewing-apparatus d e fg h, all operating l substantially as herein described.

4. 'A printing and embossing-machine for peperd and other materials, consisting of a rotary size-print--
